• MICG board and friends came together this fall to build an extension on the existing storage shed! Thanks to Alex Nelson for leading the design, material procurement, scheduling workdays and workers and hammering nails! Thanks to the construction crew: Margie Fredrickson, Anne Lacy, Susan Garetz, Kyra Bingham, Jami Halder, Nick Nelson. Thanks to any others that may have been inadvertently missed.

• THANK YOU to Gip Matthew and Lauren Schuppe for agreeing to allow us to use their well as the primary source of water for the MICG. The project was recently completed wherein a well faucet was relocated near the garden to enable easy access to the water source. It’s a win for MICG and Gip and Lauren as they shared the cost, and the new location is better for their needs as well. Thank you Gip and Lauren!!
